What: Accelerate with ATS: Best Practices for IBM Storage with VMwareAbstract: This live webinar will cover the integration of XIV, IBM Storwize V7000 and SAN Volume Controller with VMware ESX 5 and above. It will also include recommendations for optimizing performance and utilization with capabilities such as thin provisioning and vStorage API for Array Integration (VAAI.)

What: Accelerate ATS Linear Tape File System Storage Manager 1.0The IBM Linear Tape File System Storage Manager V1R1 software solution provides storage lifecycle management of archive files. While both the Single Drive Edition and the Library Edition of the LTFS have the ability to write data on tape, the LTFS Storage Manager provides the interface to manage files of all types in a Filesystem structure that makes the management of the lower level library transparent to the user. LTFS Storage Manager also provides policy based management, job scheduling and automated file management. LTFS Storage Manager V1R1 provides a more integrated solution to tape library users designed to more easily manage Archives at a reduced cost.

What: Accelerate w/ ATS Tape System Library Manager (TSLM) V1R1IBM Tape System Library Manager (TSLM) is designed to centralize tape media and tape drive management across the IBM TS3500 tape library, as well as enabling dynamic sharing of the drives and media. IBM Tape System Library Manager works with multiple generations of enterprise and LTO based tape drives and cartridges. IBM Tape System Library Manager combines the capacity of multiple heterogeneous libraries into a single reservoir of tape storage that can be managed from a central point of control.

What: Accelerate with ATS: Encrypting Data at Rest with the DS8000Abstract: This ATS webinar will overview disk encryption options that are available for the IBM System Storage DS8000. We'll review the importance of encryption and compare it to other erasure alternatives. Hardware configuration options , including specialized encrypting disk drives and a discussion on key management, symmetric versus asymmetric encryption schemes, planning guidelines and best practices will be covered.
